Accepting Clients

I am Ivie Okunor, a PMHNP-BC focused on compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults.

Addictions Counselor in West Haven, CT

About My Clients

My ideal client includes adolescents and adults seeking support with a range of mental health challenges, from depression and anxiety to ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. I provide culturally sensitive, person-centered care and collaborate with each client to create a tailored treatment plan that fosters resilience and confidence. For those ready to take an empowering step toward self-improvement, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space.

My Background and Approach

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Fairfield University and a Master of Science in Nursing focused on psychiatry. My career started in acute care as a dialysis nurse, which led me to join Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). This experience deepened my passion for mental health care, leading to my current practice, where I specialize in treating disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD, and schizophrenia. Through CareVille Psychiatry, I blend evidence-based therapies and medication management to provide high-quality, compassionate care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe mental health care is a powerful act of self-love and empowerment. My work is grounded in the values of compassion, cultural sensitivity, and excellence, and I aim to reduce stigma and foster a trusting, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe exploring their mental health. I view treatment as a collaborative process, where we build a plan together that allows you to thrive. Supporting individuals through challenges to improve their mental health is my mission, and every patient’s journey toward wellness is something I value deeply.
